Re: [U2] Bounce from non-member
A 40019 error is a generic Write failure error, which implies that for some reason the process was unable to write to FileB. This being a Type 19 file makes it somewhat interesting. This means it's trying to actually create an OS file with the name mentioned, and is unable to write to it. Would likely need a bit more detail than this. OS, UV version, etc... Also, after you see said message, does that record exist in FileB?

Re: [U2] Bounce from non-member
When an item is written to a Type1/19 file, the data is first written to a temp file of the form DBxyy where x is a 5 digit pid# and yy is a 2 digit sequencer. An error during this process, such as creating the temp file and writing to it, could cause the fatal. If the temp file and writing are successful, then the next phase is to remove any existing file with the ID of the target key, in this case 7545698440*13346*25966.940943. If this file cannot be removed (unlinked) for some reason, a fatal is flagged. If successfully removed, then the next step is to rename (copy) the temp file to the target id. Again, if an error occurs here, a fatal is flagged. If the copy is successful, the temp work file is removed with no care about its outcome. After the temp file clean up, a check is made to determine if a WRITE or WRITEU was in process to either release or retain the write lock/latch, respectively. If a fatal was flagged earlier, a status is returned and the parent BASIC write dispatch function actions on that, generating the 40019. Could be there are some kind of permissions issue, or temp file being left around, or even maybe a clash of pid numbers whereby a longer pid, say 6 digits, is being truncated to 5 and clashing with an existing temp file using a 5 digit pid (speculation on my part, but something I have seen) Good luck.

RE: [U2] Importing data from OS file
Below is Lee's suggestion (post)... In short, Lee is describes how to setup a Universe tape device that uses a file instead of a block device for reading and writing the i/o stream. Note, I do not believe this will work on Windows (or so I've been told by Universe tech support, and a few others). The DEVICE file can be edited from the UV account. I think there is a definition of the attributes on the Universe Admin manual... I can dig it up if you need it and can't find it. Basically, you are working on the same file when you create or change a tape devices in Uniadmin or from the UV account menus. There is nothing special about the path listed in attributes 2 and 7 -- they simply point to a file to which the tape i/o stream should be written. If the file does not exist, you will want to do touch /binarystar/MV.LASER/MvLaser.vtf from the OS shell to create the file. Rather than use the tape command in attributes 10 and 11, I use echo $tape. I think attribute 3 is the default block size and attribute 16 is the maximum block size for the device. There is one big limitation and that is you can only write one contiguous segment to the file. Once you write an end-of-file the reference pointer goes back to the beginning of the file. Any subsequent writes will destroy the existing data in the file. Hopefully, this helps... Tom Firl post Tom, An easy way (if you are on a Linux/Unix box), would be to create a pseudo-floppy drive on your system in the DEVICE file It should like like this: PF1 0001 Test1 Pseudo Floppy 0002 /binarystar/MV.LASER/MvLaser.vtf 0003 500 0004 F 0005 0006 0007 /binarystar/MV.LASER/MvLaser.vtf 0008 0009 0010 0011 tape rewind $tape 0012 tape rewind $tape 0013 0014 0015 0016 500 0017 0018 0019 Then you can ASSIGN PF1 TO MTU 0 T-REW T-LOAD FileName If anyone has information on how to do this on a Windows platform, it would be appreciated.

Sporadically - about two or three times in each 24 hour period - the system gets into a state where it will not accept any new Universe logins. Users already logged are often unaffected, but any attempt to start a new session with Dynamic Connect gets the message [Connection Aborted] right away - before telnet prompts for username/password are presented. When the system is in this state, any attempt to use UniAdmin results in an error message something like 'RPC error 1' - I'm not sure if that is the exact error message, but that's the gist of it. Tried stop/start all universe services and every time the Universe Resource and Universe Telnet services FAIL to restart, but the RPC service restarts correctly. Only way out is to reboot the server - which is a big hassle of course and make for very unhappy users and sysadmins ;-( Any ideas comments on this will be highly appreciated.

RE: [U2] Universe Phantom Problem
I would say that the file B is still being read by the C program or has not been released. Check if the file is locked before you try to write using a READL or READU. If you don't use the locked clause it will wait until the C program releases File B. Also consider looking at new features of UniVerse such as Sockets or MQ (Message Que) to do the same process. These have a lot of sophisticated features to handle this environment.

RE: [U2] Importing data from OS file

RE: [U2] Importing data from OS file
Because if the file is originally a multi-line flat file then when you read the item, as you say CRs will get converted to @AM. This gives you a multi-attribute record in memory. Each line of which I am assuming needs to be parsed and turned into a record. If the delimiter is an @VM then each attribute (line) can be extracted, raised and converted into a record. Possibly no more or less effective than any other method - he just said he could choose the format. Ideally that could also mean a U2 file but alas that would probably be taking it too literally.

RE: [U2] startud
Bjvrn Eklund wrote: I've decided to make an new start script for Unidata that includes startud and the start command of my program. Bjvrn, That would be what I'd do, sort of. Usually I set up a script in /etc/init.d to start and stop unidata cleanly, and then I link to it from the appropriate /etc/rc?.d directories, and for good measure put a script in /usr/local/bin which I whack higher in the PATH than $UDTBIN which intercepts any startud or stopud commands and pushes them through my /etc/init.d/unidata script. By doing this, I make a decent fist of driving any normal mechanism for starting or stopping unidata through a single spot so I can do other useful stuff at the same time - like write a message to syslog, or more importantly, make sure that the current RFS archive log file has been copied to the DR server. If someone knows what they are doing they can always get direct access to stopud or startud via $UDTBIN/st...ud, but it isn't often that you'd want to do that. The decision then is whether to put the startup for you phantoms into the same script as the one that starts unidata, or whether to put it in a separate /etc/init.d script and maybe link to it from a higher run level /etc/rc?.d. UniData commands not providing any reliable exit status is very annoying, but it has always been that way I'm afraid. What I usually do is add an extra capability to my /etc/init.d/unidata so that it understand not just the start and stop commands, but also a 'status' command which will use showud and look for a complete daemon set running to determine if it really believes that UniData is running. I then make it exit with a known status so in other scripts I can do: if /etc/init.d/unidata status then # stuff that relies on UniData being up else echo better start UniData first! exit 2 fi I'd wrap something this around your phantom initiation commands, and think hard about whether you need some way to shut your phantoms down neatly or is it OK simply to have stopud -f kill them? Cheers, Ken -Ursprungligt meddelande- Fren: Bjvrn Eklund [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] anyone who start unibasic programs automatically when you start unidata?

RE: [U2] Longstanding aversion to CNAME?
hashing location of the new id is probably not the same as the old id, so the record will still have to be removed/deleted from the original group before writing it to new group.

It seems that CNAME is not a popular UniBasic command. Is there some history here I'm not aware of, maybe it was unreliable? From a UniBasic program, why would you open a file, read a record, write it back to the same file under a different key, then delete the original record, when you could just: X.CMD = CNAME filename :X.ID:',':X.NEW.ID EXECUTE X.CMD No changes to the data are required. For example, if a bunch of records get written with the wrong date embedded in the key. This situation came up on info-datatel. Here, it happens so rarely that it's barely worth worrying about-- I'm just curious. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
